Coz I'm planning to participate in swimathon, but with this speed I think I will be the last one to reach the end
Hi, brother. Do you mean Swimon PD 2KM OWS - 18 Dec 2016?? If yes, It's cut off time is from 8:30am - 10:10am. You have 1 hour 40 minutes to complete it. According your above results time, should be can complete it before cut off.
Subang 3K swimming pool now has locker! However it is very limited, I think it need two 50cents coins to use per time. If I remember correctly got about 9 of them. But today I did not see anyone using it so probably still will be enough.
Today train water treading with breast stroke kick. I think I manage to do it for 10 seconds. In this 10 seconds it almost cause my butt to cramp. My target is 10 minutes for diving certification requirement. Long way to go.
The egg beater treading method still unable to master. My legs look handicapped when doing this egg beater.
Discover one thing today when swimming breast stroke. If I exhale air slowly and just before the moment I want to rise my head to take a breath, I exhale rapidly to empty the lung, i find myself able to float better and can swim more relax. Previously I always exhale at a constant rate but quite fast, and I realize after a short distance I will feel like I do not breath in enough air. I think today breast stroke is my best swimming experience so far.
Yes, brother. The first thing must learn before learning swimming skill is learning how to exhale constantly. Actually, from what I learn is call leaking air out (*not to hold your air), not blow air out. Try open your mouth in water when doing exhaling, this will help you can't hold the air in your lung. You can have a look at youtube below, but sorry about it is in chinese words.
Went to 3K Subang Swimming Pool yesterday night... Overall, these are my thoughts:
1. Water are much cleaner... 2. The floor is still slippery as it was (slipped slightly on my way to changing room even though I walk very very slowly)... 3. Pool floor was not well maintained at deeper area (noticed a lot of dirt/residue while swimming over)... 4. Water can be very cold during rainy days... 5. It doesn't seems to be that crowded (acceptable for me) until DSA lessons starts...
I guess I might come back more regularly provided that it is not raining on that day
Practice my left hand recovery arm action few days ago, it looks got improvement. But still need fix hyper extend, arch back, left hand switch timing & also 2 beat kick timing next time. Still need put a lot of effort to fix it.
Great. The problem with my freestyle is that both my arms are not symmetrical and my body is not streamlined. Any tips on this?
Bro, it is hard to give suggestions without video. But usually both arms not symmetrical is because of one side breathing, you can do practice on bilaterally breathing.
For body not streamlined, you can practice on skating drills. Do it left hand then right hand. You can refer from YouTube below:
Any pool can recommend ? Plan to bring my kid and let them enjoy at the same time can guide them. Shah Alam area ? Subang ? Any pool that not that much ppl haha
Shah Alam Dswim Academy is the best place for you to swim. It is at Panasonic Shah Alam there, got children swimming pool too. Try check the link below to get more information. Happy swimming,
hey guys, i wanna ask...how can i learn freestyle or backstroke? i can do breaststroke but whenever i try freestyle, my butt and leg will sink...same as backstroke...any idea to stay float?
Hi, there. Sinking leg is the most common issue for freestyle swimming, you can have a look video below to grab some idea.
From my humble advice will asking you to hire a good coach to teach you freestyle swimming. Not to say can't self coaching, but it is very hard to succeed.
I jump the swim class & learn from nothing since August 2015, I really put huge effort to practice. Until today I still got a lot of mistake need to correct, the point is self awareness. I must take the self under / above swim video, and send to my coach for asking opinion. Then know what to do to correct it at next time practice.
Swimming is a muscle memory exercise. So, we must do the it correct before it become a bad habit. Anyway, wish you swim happy.
so the skate drill is for breathing drill as well?
i still have trouble for my breathing.
Yes, brother. You can use this skate drill as a breathing drill, but not easy to done it. Before breathing must check 3 things - Head, Neck, Spine, make sure it is enough relax & in one line. If you can practice more on this point, I'm sure it will help you breathing more easily.
Hm.... If like this, you can try invest a pair of fins. It will help you do a lot of drill too, just remember to take it off when doing full stroke swim. Do not rely it doing full stroke swim.
Yeah sometimes I swim while it is raining, coz it rains while im in the middle of my swim workouts might as well continue all the way. As long as the thunder dun strike the pool and I dun become BBQ I guess is fine.
My god, brother. Better don't swim while raining. It is not safe,
Brother, here is my personal opinion. Must test swim after you buy the new goggles, test around 2, 3 days. You still can exchange between 7 days from date of purchase if it really not suitable for you.
By the way, I'm using the same goggles. It is ok for me,
Which shop can exchange in 7 days? I dont know that haha..so far at Lazada can with "Buyer satisfaction" tag
Official Speedo store. Last time my friend buy there, and allow her to exchange between 7 days. Please do keep your official receipt, good luck brother and wish you swim happy.
